We are getting to the business end of the Caribbean Premier League 2024 with just three games remaining in the league stage. Saint Lucia Kings and Guyana Amazon Warriors are in pole position to grab one of the top-two finishes. Meanwhile, Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals are in the third and fourth places, respectively, and would be looking to make sure they remain in the top four. The two sides will face off tomorrow night at the Brian Lara Stadium. The Knight Riders beat the Royals earlier in the season and have a slight edge in this clash.

Trinbago Knight Riders are coming off a huge 80-run loss against Saint Lucia Kings. That heavy loss brought down their net run rate to -0.087. However, they still have 10 points from 8 matches and are in fourth position. With two matches left in the league stage, the Knight Riders have a solid opportunity of making it to the playoffs.
Nicholas Pooran has been their most prolific batter this year, smashing 285 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 175.
With Keacy Carty and Kieron Pollard also providing solid batting options, the team is in good shape. Opener Jason Roy looks to be back on track, notching impressive scores of 64 and 41 in his most recent games.
On the bowling front, the Knight Riders will miss the services of Dwayne Bravo, who injured himself in the previous game and has now bid adieu to cricket.
Sunil Narine is also nursing a quad strain but it isn’t clear when will the mystery spinner return to action.
Therefore, the onus will now be on Waqar Salamkheil, the team’s leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps at 8.61, to deliver. Akeal Hosein is another reliable option.
Key Players: Nicholas Pooran, Waqar Salamkheil, Jason Roy
The hard hitting batter has scored 41, 67 and 9 runs in the last three matches played in the CPL. The Knight has the best chance to finish in the top two if they win this game and Roy having been in the best of forms will look to continue his dominance with the bat and we back him to score over 18.5 runs against the Royals.
Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) are known for their power hitting and have averaged 11 sixes per game in this CPL season. After hitting 12 sixes in their last match, TKR are expected to continue their form and hit over 9.5 sixes in their upcoming match.

Barbados Royals have now lost three matches in a row, their most recent one being a 47-run loss to Guyana Amazon Warriors. Despite this, they are still in the third position with 10 points and a net run rate of 0.277.
Quinton de Kock has been phenomenal for the Royals this season, racking up 426 runs across 9 innings with an explosive strike rate of 167.
While they may have lost their most recent match, the Royals can celebrate David Miller’s resurgence, as he showcased his skills by scoring an impressive unbeaten 71 runs from just 34 deliveries in the previous game against the Warriors.
Maheesh Theekshana has been a standout performer with the ball, taking 12 wickets in 9 innings with an excellent economy rate of 5.54. Right on his heels is Obed McCoy, who has also taken 10 wickets in those 9 innings, though his economy rate is higher at 8.60.
Keshav Maharaj has also proven to be a valuable contributor, taking 8 wickets in 6 innings with an economy rate of 8.78 whenever given the opportunity.
Key Players: Quinton de Kock, Maheesh Theekshana, David Miller
De Kock has three 30+ scores in his last five outings in the CPL, against TKR he has scored 98 runs in three innings and averages 49.00. Given his recent form, we back De Kock to score over 23.5 runs in today's match.
The Royals have been consistent in scoring runs in boundaries, averaging 11 fours per game this season. In their last two matches, they hit 16 and 11 fours, respectively. Given their recent form, the Royals are expected to hit over 10.5 fours in today's match.

The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium in this year’s CPL has proven to be a batting beauty. The ball is coming on at a nice pace and height for the batters. In both the matches played at the venue this season, batters have made merry. We expect this to continue in this match as well. Spinners will have some help when the ball becomes softer. Seamers will need to vary their lengths and speeds to outfox batters.
The weather in Trinidad will be cloudy with widely separated thunderstorms, which might disrupt the game for a bit.
In the two matches played at the Brian Lara Stadium, the team batting first scored 193-4 and 218-6, respectively. This shows that the venue is a high-scoring one, and we can expect another one here. The team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 190-200 runs.
The two matches played at Brian Lara Cricket Stadium has been high scoring where the total match scores have are 390 and 356 runs. The pitch favours the batters and we expect another high scoring game, where the total match score will be over 341.5 runs.
In both the matches played at the Brian Lara Stadium in this year’s CPL, the team winning the toss has chosen tow bowl first. We expect this trend to continue in this game as well.
Trinbago Knight Riders have won their last three matches against Barbados Royals. They are coming off a heavy defeat but have it in them to get back on track quickly. Barbados Royals, meanwhile, seem to have lost their way a bit with three back-to-back losses. Their batting is largely dependent on Quinton de Kock currently. If the batting unit fails to pull up their socks, then they will be looking at another loss. Given the overall balance and form of both sides, we are backing Trinbago Knight Riders to come out on top in this game.
Back Trinbago Knight Riders to secure a win in this encounter.
